先是，其妻阿魯真，歷呼家人告之曰：「我夫受國恩，我亦封齊國夫人，今事至此，唯有死耳。」 Earlier, his wife Aru Zhen had summoned the household one by one and said, "My husband has received the state's grace, and I too was enfeoffed as Lady of Qi. Now that matters have come to this, there is nothing left but death."

比阿魯真欲下，而井填咽不可容，遂抱子投舍北井。 When Aru Zhen was about to follow, the well was already choked full and could hold no more, so she clasped her son and threw herself into the north well of the residence.
